Nimbus (1934-1959): service and repair manuals

A repair manual for your Nimbus (1934-1959)? Here are shop manuals for DIY service and repairs on Nimbus motorbikes. They offer clear instructions for maintenance, troubleshooting, and parts replacement.

Nimbus Maintenance (2. English Edition)

This illustrated book is a practical guide to the maintenance and repair of the Danish Nimbus C motorcycles produced between 1935 and 1959. The focus is on tasks that a skilled owner can carry out personally or arrange to have done. It does not cover complex repairs that require special tools or professional expertise.

The book emphasizes caution, as errors can cause high costs and may damage original parts that are now difficult or impossible to replace. It therefore serves both as a handbook for routine work and as a reference to help owners understand when professional assistance is necessary.
